-If you're under 127 combat, definitely skip.- I think the popular thing is to just block greaters. Their charm drops are decent, not amazing. The xp is slow and they're crowded, granted you can go to a low pop world, but that's kills your xp even more because the spawns come slower. It's one of the worst tasks and you're much better off going back for a better one. The wild doesn't really work because it takes forever to get there and back.

If you want everything to be untradeable go play wow Making godswords untradeable is a terrible idea. When I get a godsword soloing a boss I want to be able to sell it at ridiculously inflated price to some idiot who will actually use it.

If you pray at the altar it ports you down to the spiders.

Nope you're just unlucky

I recently came back to RS after an extended break and have really come to love Slayer, a skill that I previously despised. I'm on about my ~170th consecutive task and I hope I can lend some insight on the topic. The hardest thing about debating on runescape is the fact that (it seems like) everyone has a different goal in the game. Whether it's increasing total level, combat level, making money, playing minigames/PKing, etc. I think the first thing you have to define when you make a post like "Slayer sucks" is the context in which you are evaluating it. My primary point in this post is the following: Most (all? i hope) people do what is fun for them in the game. If training slayer or getting total levels is not fun to you I don't suggest that you train slayer. However, maybe if I go over your post I can help change your mind. I apologize if I repeat topics that have already been mentioned in the thread as I am not about to go over 55 pages of text. Some observations: -Iron and steel dragons should be the first tasks you BLOCK (100pts). -Mithril dragons are a pretty fast and easy task if you have decent stats and a black mask/slayer helm. I would skip them if possible but if you're out of points this is not a bad task to get. -The order in which you spend your point should be as follows: Blocks tasks > Slayer helm > Learn Slayer Ring > Buy runes, while skipping clearly bad tasks as necessary. -Slayer isn't good money at any level, runecrafting is that way---> -If slayer isn't fun and getting total levels isn't fun I would suggest leaving slayer at level 1. -If you do slayer efficiently, the xp is a whole lot better than 50k an hour and probably not far behind grind methods of training combat in terms of overall xp gained per hour.

The point of the OP was that runescape is about having fun (which is true). The OP has more fun with a gs, so he uses one...you can't really argue against that. To those who are really concerned about the extra one or two prayer pot doses a gs will save you, the time saved by using a whip is certainly worth the cost of an extra prayer pot. and inferior to the sara sword ;)

Depends on your definition of easy. If you define easy as 'fast overall xp', then yea, cooking, possibly fletching/thieving. Remember that you have to factor in the amount of time it takes to earn the money you have to spend to level the skill. If you define easy as 'simple to level', then pretty much every skill is comparable, with the possible exceptions of slayer/summoning.

Why would you think that when there is absolutely no evidence to support it

In most cases you're best off putting the xp on summoning, due to charms being non-tradeable and the fact that you can get more xp per charm at higher levels. Next best is probably slayer because the xp is so slow.
